I know the internet lives the guy but no. Just no.

Some people are starting to wake up to the fact that the guy is just another libertarian billionaire, he just happens to be in charge of a company that made a product people love enough to give them monopolistic powers.

Edit: these people aren't in this thread

Edit 2: first edit was from when the votes on that comment were at -8, happy to see that for once one of my comments on this subject ends up in the positives

You’re not wrong, the downvoters are just sad because you are right. Just takes one personality shift from Gabe to turn him from beloved figurehead to shitty billionaire and being reminded of that sucks.

Pretty sure Musk has had a significant shift. Not saying he started out as a nice normal guy, but something cracked for sure.

We also spend dramatically more now as well and are on an unsustainable path according to the Fed.

People want more spending and less taxes though, as its human nature.
